Overview:
After Twenty Five years of formulating, testing and manufacturing vertical wall products, Stuc-O-Flex International, Inc. understands the appearance of any project is the one element that immediately reflects the quality and integrity of the building, as well as the construction team involved. Our mission is to compliment those efforts with products of the highest quality and enhance cladding performance through Rainscreen configuration.
Stuc-O-Flex International created America’s first Breathable Elastomeric Acrylic Finish back in 1981. More recently we’ve advanced the science of vertical wall Rainscreen in drainable Stucco, Stone, EIFS and siding assemblies to new levels with technologies unprecedented in past years. Unparalleled expertise in Acrylic Polymer Chemistry and our WaterWay™ line of Rainscreen Drainage Mats assures extended service life and exceptional appearance on your completed projects. Whether your design requires a decorative textured coating, direct applications to substrate sheathing, EIFS, Stucco, ICF finish systems, Drainable Rainscreen assemblies or applications to enhance standard metal building construction, no company offers a broader selection of wall cladding and configuration options.
Unequaled growth over the past two and a half decades and a listing in INC. Magazines' 500 Fastest Growing Companies reflects our philosophy and commitment to innovation, research & development, and uncompromising quality control.
Our stability in ownership sharing resources with three sister companies, supported by six office locations throughout the U.S. and distribution in 22 countries confirm our stability and experience.

Waterway Drainable Stucco Assembly is an enhanced traditional stucco, configured with a back ventilated rainscreen cavity that captures intruding moisture and immediately transfers it back to the building’s exterior. The basic system incorporates a weather resistive barrier, WaterWay drainage mat creating the capillary break, typical traditional stucco and Stuc-O-Flex Breathable Elastomeric Acrylic Finish. This system answers increasing demand for enhanced envelope integrity while reducing potential challenges associated with moisture penetration.
“WaterWay Rainscreen Drainage Mats” consist of a Nylon / Polymer core of fused, entangled filaments in varying thicknesses from a nominal ¼ inch to ¾ inch, depending on desired cavity space and cladding selection. Certain profiles are available with a protective filter fabric bonded to one side or consider WaterWay Plus - a revolutionary “Patent Pending” Drainage Mat consisting of a .45” / 11.4mm thick polymer matrix heat laminated to a breathable filter fabric on one side and a code compliant weather resistive barrier (WRB) on the other side. This multiple layer product creates a one step WRB and Rainscreen drainage assembly in a single application. “WaterWay” Rainscreen Mats are designed for stucco, EIFS, manufactured stone, fiber-cement, brick, lap and cedar sidings and other wall system materials.

50 Times more Efficient at Draining Water than a Traditional WRB alone*
Redirects Moisture Away from Vulnerable Wall Sheathing Materials
Stuc-O-Flex Elastomeric Acrylic Finish provides a protective weathering membrane in a pre-colored, extremely durable, fade and mildew resistant coating. The industry’s highest levels of 100% Acrylic Polymer ensures un-matched resistance to surface cracking unlike standard finishes. An unlimited selection of colors (over 10,000) in four distinct aggregate choices create a wide variety of texture opportunities from the heaviest southwest stucco to the more contemporary sand finish.
EuroPlast is a pre-colored, wet-mix 100% Acrylic polymer based interior & exterior coating system that transforms vertical walls into a classic example of Old World Venetian Style Plaster. This versatile decorative coating exhibits a rich aesthetic appearance with unlimited color and texture opportunities. Achieve a wide range of effects from Rustic plaster to smooth polished limestone.

Renew - Elastomeric Coating (paint grade):
A pure acrylic, highly elastomeric topcoat that can be applied like latex paint. The formulation is identical to Stuc-O-Flex finish excluding the aggregate. Renew provides maximum crack bridging ability in a paint applied coating.
Stuc-O-Base / Adhesive – Base Coat - A wet mix, fiber reinforced, acrylic adhesive / base coat –
mixed 1 to 1 with Portland cement.
PRM (polymer reinforced mortar) - A powdered polymer reinforced adhesive and underlayment for use with acrylic finish coatings.
Applications:
As a leveling coat, applied with stainless steel trowels at a minimum 1/16inch, trowel smooth.
As an Adhesive – Apply to the backside of insulation board with a 3/8 inch notched trowel. Apply ribbons over the entire surface and adhere insulation to prepared substrate.
Over Insulation - Stuc-O-Base / PRM should be used in conjunction with fiberglass mesh. Immediately embed fiberglass mesh into wet base coat troweling from the center to the edges creating a smooth surface.
Fiberglass Reinforcing Mesh - A woven and treated fiberglass mesh used in Stuc-O-Flex wall assemblies providing strength and impact resistance. Once embedded into the Stuc-O-Base or PRM layer, the fiberglass mesh provides continuity of the surface and supports resistance to cracking.
Application:
Apply a layer of Stuc-O-Base or PRM to the substrate. Immediately imbed the fiberglass mesh into the wet base coat layer by pushing it in with a trowel, working from the center out to the edges. The mesh should be fully imbedded such that no mesh pattern is visible. Reinforcing fabric shall be continuous and overlapped 2 inches in accordance with Stuc-O-Flex specifications. Avoid wrinkles in the mesh and smooth out wall surface with the trowel.
Primers / Sealers
Prime Seal
Prime Seal - A specialized primer/sealer designed to block staining and bleed-through. Excellent sealer for stucco - creates uniform porosity and reduces potential efflorescence.
Application:
Applied using a brush, roller, or spray equipment. Apply to a uniform thickness free of pin-holes or voids. Screen prior to spray applications.
Joint Compound
Elastomeric Joint Compound
Elastomeric Joint Compound – A polymer based, extremely stretchable joint bridging and leveling compound used over seams and joints on direct applications, also used to repair cracks in stucco, brick, CMU, and concrete walls.
Application:
Joint Compound is applied using a drywall knife or trowel with sufficient pressure to ensure deep penetration into the joint or crack. For direct to sheathing applications - seams, inside and outside corners require mesh to be imbedded in Joint Compound. See specifications for details.
Therm-Flash Flexible Flashing is a self adhering membrane featuring a durable Industrial aluminum film surface with a 100% butyl rubber adhesive. The film surface provides excellent tear and puncture resistance. The nominal 24-mil flashing (20 mils of butyl plus 4 mils of reinforcing foil film) prevents water from penetrating at a variety of openings and termination details
